Ah my interest was purely to DHCP.exe here, once that works all applications are fine with their semi-static file (except for a "lease expired, can't run, run DHCP.exe first again or stick to static IP) > with that fiction.

Yeah I don't know DHCP.exe's behaviour, was just afraid it would be spamming the DHCP server everytime I run it, instead of analysing the configuration file's timestamp + lease. VMware's DHCP gives 1800 seconds lease (NAT-mode), while my router's DHCP gives 1 day leases indeed (as does yours). The tricky situation is a "hey lease is still valid, let's not query". with meanwhile lease only still being valid like 5 seconds or so. Trouble ahead :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense. http://p.sf.net/sfu/splunk-d2d-c2 _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
